Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal had become moot after the project proponent renounced the construction project.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The renunciation meant the controversy had lost its object and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 72 PCF via Art. 40 OJ, when a case becomes without object the court ends the proceedings and decides costs based on the situation before the event ending the dispute. Since no building permit form had been issued and the municipality stated it would not grant a permit for the project, no practical interest remained.
